Trump backs MAGA congressman Mike Collins over Governor Kemp's candidate in Georgia Senate runoff
President Donald Trump has endorsed Republican congressman Mike Collins in Georgia's Senate runoff election, putting his full weight behind the MAGA-aligned candidate just days before Tuesday's vote. Collins faces former college football coach Derek Dooley in a runoff after neither candidate cleared 50% in May's primary — Collins finished first with 40% against Dooley's 30%. The winner will face Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff in November in a race that could determine control of the US Senate. Trump called Collins "a true Friend, Fighter and Warrior" while dismissing Dooley with the words "I don't know Derek Dooley, and neither does anyone else." The endorsement is a direct blow to Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, who has strongly backed Dooley and campaigned alongside him. Trump and Kemp have feuded for years since Kemp refused to challenge Georgia's 2020 election results. Collins has long showcased his MAGA credentials and appeared alongside Vice President JD Vance on the campaign trail across Georgia.
